Hi all,
I have lots of experience removing roofs of LGB rolling stock but this car has stumped me for some time. I am hoping someone else out there has had experience removing the roofs of this specific item number 33520.
The car is RhB Salon car number 1144 in green and beige livery.
I have seen many schematics for other color variations of this car, but I do not know if they pertain exactly to my car(s, I have two) or not. I have tried all methods of roof removal except for completely disassembling the car. I think it is possible that the roof is attached by the typical clips and hangers that LGB uses (see first picture with slight indent in roof above center of leftmost bay window), but they are incredibly tight and I don't think I can remove without damaging some part of it. Of course I want to preserve the exterior appearance of the car.
I have tried and failed at the various suggestions in these LGB instructions (below, yes I know the same style of car is pictured here but the method of roof removal suggested still did not work). I have tried to pry with pliers, unscrew various screws, use woodworking clamps, et cetera. Anyone have ideas for me?
Looking forward to hearing from the group and connecting with any and all LGB and RhB fans.
Sincerely,
Jacob
